| Flight details: | Caburn 10 am not much lift, little climbs, landed 10.30 am off again after some gulls, straight to the bottom. Ran back up 11.00 am arrived on top. Felt a change in the air and launch, this time more of a tug on the wing and went with it over the back.
Tracked to Glyndebourne Opera House, nice place to visit :) crossed here and after about half a mile was coming down to around 400ft and managed to connect with a small thermal and carried on to a farmer turning his field. He kept stopping and lift was very weak and i notice about 30 sea gulls, working a weak thermal, some flapping. With only 800 ft i applied the speed bar and change tack and played with the gulls. Slow and weak to 1500 ft with this i worked my way around the gliding club.
And carried on in weak lift to Little Horsted not a bleep from the vario, just some hellos from the golfers. Glided past the club and was level with the big power lines and caught a small amount of lift, no room to 360 and after 3 mins glided into well cut grass at hole 19 and meet Catherine and Paul in the bar of the health gym.
Kind regards to Trevor Hurt for picking me up, i owe you a beer. Arrived back at caburn by 1 pm.
Its great not to work and just play. Rob Chisholm Glider 1/2 Gin Oasis. |
